Good for you and your family. Good luck buddy.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the waiting game starts.

Wife drags her feet all night to say "ok" then gets bitchy when I want her to do the paperwork at 9PM. LOL

I'm sorry babe, we don't need a house this large, you want it, sign this shit. now.

;)

the game begins.........

counter offer headed our way. Though, it doesn't seem that far off from what we originally assumed. ;)

(basically.........the cost of 1 pizza per month for 30 years. LOL)

Can't beat that! Probably don't need the pizza anyways. LOL

nope. haven't had it in over 4 months! haha (damnit, I want a pizza!)

I just had some pizza hut and it was yummy. Haha. What a dick. Lol

I had blackened salmon on top of cheddar grits.

Oh, and...........contract accepted!

That actually sounds better than pizza!

And congrats! Just saw the pics, looks like an awesome house! We're going to need to see pics of where the magic happens! (The basement, what were you thinking?) haha

Do you own or rent your current house?

here's more pics

basement? YUP! I love working in the basement, and I'll have plenty of room now. I'm going to try to set up an aiming station down there too. ;) That would be killer.

We own the house we are in now. After we move, we need to get some cosmetic BS done to it, and we'll either rent it or sell it. We'll lose our ass.....but, its time to bolt from this mofo.

That sucks that you'll take a hit, but sometimes it's worth it. That's one of the biggest hurdles I have with us buying a new house, having to sell this one and risk having two mortgages at once for an extended period. Don't really want that.... We're pretty good equity wise but it's going to be a pain.

Photobucket website is being retarded on my phone, have to look at the pics tomorrow.

And why don't oklahoma houses have basements? Maybe 1% of the houses I've looked at have one. Crazy.

my brother in Springfield MO.........most don't have basements. Its very common up here though.

Stupid PB.........oh well, I keep looking at them and trying to place a few things and wondering..........errr.........thats a BIG place....lol

Put it into comparison. Our house now......its fn small. I mean......SMALL. 864 sq ft. We have a finished basement (doesn't count in the sq ft). It "works".....and has for the time we've been here. Thats all that matters.........but it was time to go. This one, 3100, again - not counting the basement. I'm ready for it NOW. ;)

That's a hell of a jump! You guys are going to be bouncing around like BBs in a boxcar! Lol

yeah.......we've been "looking" to get out of here for a while.......been lucky with a great year, I stashed a NICE chunk away.....gotta love that shit!

Congratulations Jeremy, really. I thought Sarah, Hunter, and I were cramped in 1100 sqft...864 with two kids!? 3100 sqft means it might be time for furniture shopping soon.

yeah, we have a full basement, which is where I work......and there's another family room there (not used)...

Small bedrooms, hell - everything, but its worked for us........just time to move on.

AND yup, we will be furnishing this one a bit different. Let the fun begin!

Just looked at the pics, very nice!

TY sir!

Inspection happens next Monday...........oh, the fun......I'm not patient. I want in now lol

It's all fun and games until you have to move your shit! I hate moving!

a good chunk will go out the back door........and into a dumpster. so much crap we have.....and just don't need.

Lol.

Got a new toy coming in for the Jeep! ;)

spill it.

You know I can't keep anything in. Lol. Got an email from HemiFever yesterday saying the 14 Jeeps are now supported, so I ordered up an intune! Can't wait to wake up this beast!

very nice!

screwin' around in some blueprint software tonight. yeah......wife looked at me funny too.

Nice!

I really like the 90* double vanity in the master bath.

Speaking of that, looking at some of the pics, is that a taller than normal bathroom vanity? If so, that is a great idea!

They did a standard, then put like a 18" 42" cabinet next to each side. LOVE that, little more storage, and not the "flat" setup........ya know

ok, I'll do the basement tomorrow........having a hard time remembering where everything was. LOL

so............

accountant did our taxes tonight.......... fucking government...........fuck me fuck me fuck me!

They get you coming and going......

This is my first year as an employee...... They pull all taxes out of my checks.. I will prolly still have to pay in but won't be paying in what I use to... Like 15- 20 grand a year lol.

It sucks making money right? Just so someone can come to you (Other than your wife) and demand half....

Re: The Offical B.S Thread!!!!
 

Yep, I get fukked every year. Our household income the last couple years has exceeded the amount allowed to deduct student loan interest. That really pissed me off. And after taxes I get a whopping 60% of my commission checks. Then they still want more.

I know its a biproduct of having a business..........taxes........but holy mother of fuck.

Doesn't help that we are buying another house, not selling this one just yet (yippie, double mortgage!) and then sock on a huge tax bill? Oh feck. LOL

Starting to think about a new house again. Might look into building within the next year or two. We've been looking at a lot of plans lately and I found a builder that has some floor plans that I like. The "Canterbury" is one of them and they have one completed and for sale that I wouldn't mind going to look at. The kitchen doesn't have much storage but we could probably stand to get rid of some crap anyways. LOL.

The "Westport" is pretty appealing too.

I'm being very picky this time around. A three car garage that will hold my truck is going to be required and is non-negotiable. I also want the master and at least two other bedrooms down stairs. All of our bedrooms in the current house are upstairs and it's getting old. We also require a dedicated office as well as a guest room. This plan has a large game room that would also serve as a guest room as well as an additional bedroom upstairs that would be an office. Looking at the pics in the ad the "nook" looks big enough to fit a full size dining table which eliminates the need for the dining room, which could be used for the office; giving us a separate guest room and gameroom upstairs. A downstairs office is also more appealing to me.

My wife also wants separate sinks in the master, said she's tired of sharing a sink. She didn't find it funny when I said that feeling is mutual. LOL. A decent size backyard that I could separate into "dogville" and "kidville" is also needed.

I like the layout of the second one a LOT better.

I keep looking and going.....where's the basement. Drr...lol

I do too. Only issue with that one is there isn't a downstairs office (assuming I could use the nook in the other plan as a dining room).

And yeah, no basements 'round here. I'd love one though.

is the soil just not good for a basement?

I honestly have no idea....

brother's area is the same........his next house, basement.

Wonder.......they had to move the house a bit, there is a HUGE rock under the soil where he is building.

The problem for Oklahoma is that there is a lot of water in the soil. Also, the water table is quite high, which leads to quick problems with basement flooding or at least mold/mildew. These factors are what have influenced most building codes in OK which do not allow basements.
